Peterson Old Dublin

The name might be Peterson Old Dublin, but this is a traditional Scottish mixture consisting of Cyprian Latakia, fine Virginias, unflavored black Cavendish and select Basma. This medium-bodied blend is sweet, smoky and exotic, and incredibly satisfying. Old Dublin is a great choice for those who enjoy Latakia in measured doses.

This was something that I saw at the tinder box here in Reno Nevada. Being new to the world of English blends I thought I would try a tin. It was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Now I want to do is smoke this all the time. One of my new favorite tobaccos. Do yourself a favor and try a tin. You won’t regret it.

Simply put this is my all day, everyday type of smoke.
A little sweetness, a detectable smokiness and a consistent flavour.
Good from top to bottom.
If you are someone who is looking to venture, for the first time, into the world of "English" tobaccos id highly recommend starting here.
If you're an old hand and are looking for something straight forward and consistently good, look no further.
Perhaps there are better blends on the market with a more nuanced flavour profile, but to find a blend that has never left ME wanting is as good as it gets.

To be truthful I'm very new to pipe smoking so I don't even know if my words are credible but Peterson old Dublin is good. I don't regret buying it however I don't believe I'm going to buy it again just because it's not one of my favorites.

A good flavorful cool smoking blend. I used to smoke "Black Watch tobacco that I bought at Vottis Pipe shop in Albany NY and loved it. The shop closed in 1991. This the closest blend to it that I've found yet. I highly recommend it.

This was my first English and at the time I had no idea what I was doing. In fact I'm not even sure why I chose it because all my decisions at that time were based on which flavor I wanted to try. For this to not say cherry or whiskey on the tin would have been a turn off. I got back to the barracks loaded it up and realized I had something special on my hands. After that my friends started smoking it too and we couldn't get enough. The Latakia comes through beautifully, but I think it is the Basma that gives it that extra something in flavor. About the room note-- I never had any complaints but the aroma is strong. If I was smoking an aromatic and a friend lit old Dublin it would ruin my smoke. We had to start coordinating tobaccos.

I'm trying to like this blend, but my main comment is that it tastes ... salty. I'm a veteran English and matured Virginia's smoker, and trying this for the first time. It burns nicely, lights easily and leaves a white ash. But I'm missing any sweet undertones in the smoke and a lack of tanginess to offset that salty, sharp quality that I get from it.
